About The Artist

"Jennifer is a 25 year-old self-taught portrait
artist based in West Sussex. She recently
completed a BSc Psychology with Neuroscience,
however her life-long love of art has taken over
and she is now successfully working full-time as
an artist, working primarily with a mix of pastels
and colour pencil. Her usual subjects are dogs and
horses, however she has also been commissioned to
draw other pets, more exotic animals, people and
the occasional building: she is always open to a
challenge!

Jennifer has grown up around
animals and has previously worked with both
animals and people in emotional capacities. Thus
in her art she is particularly keen to observe and
reproduce the emotion and life presented by both
animals and humans and is often complimented on
the expression and liveliness in the eyes of her
subjects.

She does enjoy producing her own
original works for sale and sometimes runs stalls
at art and craft fairs, however generally her
commission-based work takes up all of her time:
work which she finds incredibly rewarding. Her
commissions usually come from the UK but the
occasional international request does crop up and
she is always happy to oblige.

She has
three dogs and a horse, all of whom act as
unending inspiration, and a husband who is
eternally patient with her long working hours and
dedication to her work."

Portrait Commissions:

Affordable yet realistic traditional portraits of
your favourite pets - be it anything from horse to
hound - or your loved ones in a variety of
traditional tools to suit your needs. However you
want it, when you want it!

The artwork can be produced in the medium of
your choosing. I usually work with coloured chalk
pastels as they produce a soft, warm effect which
is perfect when representing your loved ones.
Standard portrait sizes are 12 x 9 inches or 16 x
12 inches. However, I can use any size paper and
any medium from chalk pastels, to charcoal, to
graphite pencil, to coloured pencil, to oil
pastel!

All you need to do is provide me
with a few photographs of the person or animal you
wish to be drawn (alternatively, if you don't have
any photos and are in the Sussex area I can visit
you and photograph the subject myself at an extra
cost), let me know what medium you'd like me to
use, and when you'd like it to be done by (due to
a high volume of work, commissions usually take
about 6 weeks to be produced. However, if you need
it earlier we can work something out) and leave
the rest to me!

I can add in, alter or
remove details at your request. Artistic license
is a great thing!

It's best to email me to
discuss exactly what you would like and we can go
from there.
